WHO IS NSROC?
In 1986, local councils from the northern Sydney area recognised the need for a united voice that could represent the region on key issues and work collaboratively for a better future. They came together to create the Northern Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (NSROC).
Today, NSROC continues to enhance the liveability, productivity and sustainability of the region through:
- Advocacy – to provide a united voice on shared concerns in our region
- Project management – to co-ordinate councils on regional or cross council projects
- Research – to assess and evaluate regional needs and trends
- Information provision – to provide councils and their communities with supporting resources
Our eight member councils include: Hornsby , Hunter’s Hill, Ku-ring-gai, Lane Cove, Mosman, North Sydney, Ryde and Willoughby.

The General Managers Advisory Committee (GMAC) is made up of the General Managers or CEOs of our member councils. GMAC provides advice to NSROC on administrative and planning matters as well as recommendations to the Board. GMAC office-holders are:
- Secretary / Chair: Steven Head, General Manager, Hornsby Shire Council
- Treasurer: Dominic Johnston, General Manager, Mosman Municipal Council
